VIDEO: Penguins’ Letang penalized for playing with opponent’s stick

Kris Letang's attempt to make lemonade out of lemons backfired in a big way.

After the Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman's stick was slashed out of his hands by Cedric Paquette, he proceeded to grab hold of the Tampa Bay Lightning forward's twig and skate down the ice to help defend his net.

His punishment was two minor penalties: one for playing with an illegal stick and one for unsportsmanlike conduct.
